Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper, allowing some excess paper to hang over the edges.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the eggs into the mixture one at a time, ensuring you beat well after each addition for a smooth consistency. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

  4. 4

    In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Spoon the cookie dough into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top for a uniform appearance.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the surface of the dough.

  7. 7

    Place the baking pan in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The cookie bars are ready when the edges turn a light golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the cookie bars out of the pan, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Chef's Notes

For an extra touch, dust the cooled cookie bars with a little additional ground cinnamon and sugar, and serve them on a beautiful platter. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk for the ultimate treat!
